The toxicity of phosgene and thiocarbonyl chloride represents a drawback in the laboratory synthesis of isocyanates and isothiocyanates from amines the use of iminophosphoranes has been shown effectively to circumvent this problem. The key step is the mild reaction of CO2 or CS with the iminophosphoranes (50), which are readily available from the corresponding amines. The reaction appears to be general for both aromatic and aliphatic amines and yields are good (Scheme 60). 

Since chiral amines are much more available than chiral isocyanates, ureas have often been obtained from reaction of an amine used as the chiral source with a stoichiometric amount of a non-chiral isocyanate [41]. Similarly, thioureas are obtained by reacting isothiocyanates with amines. The corresponding ureas and thioureas (examples in the following sections) are... 

Thioureas are most commonly prepared from reaction of isothiocyanates with amines. Also there are some reports on reactions of anime or carbodiimides with several thionating reagents. AA -Disubstituted thioureas bearing double NH groups have been developed as sensors, and as catalysts because of their hydrogen bonding ability. A,A -Disubstituted thiourea-linked sugar chains have been prepared by the reaction of isothiocyanate with amine. 

A direct procedure from isothiocyanates and amines using tetrabutylammo-nium thiocyanate (Bu4NSCN) and PhCH2NMe3Br3 affords functionalized 2-aminobenzo-l,3-thiazoles (Scheme 60).143... 

Cyclic thiourea derivatives having three different types of cyclophane structure (ortho-meta, meta-meta and meta-para) and a lariat-type thiourea have been synthesized, using reaction of isothiocyanate with amine.230 Cyclic thioureas have been obtained from formaldehyde aminals and sulfur (Sg) (Scheme 77).231... 

KALUZA Isothiocyanate synthesis Formation ot isothtocyanates from amines. 

In this extensive study of thiourea synthesis by coupling isothiocyanates with amines under mechanochemical conditions of neat and LAG, a total of 49 different thiourea derivatives were prepared. Since the supramolecular chemistry of simple synunetrical and nonsymmetrical diarylthiouieas had not previously been studied in detail, the information from the PXRD patterns of the milling products in this work also allowed for a systematic analysis of structural features of diarylthio-ureas. The three main self-assembly motifs were identified. A characteristic supramolecular synthon based on bifurcated N—H - S hydrogen bonds was found in most cases, whereby the individual thiourea molecules were assembled into chains aligned in a head-to-head (parallel molecular dipoles) or head-to-tail (antiparallel molecular dipoles) manner. In the case of slerically hindered thioureas, such as A -(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-A -phenylthiourea, the third motif arising from discrete cen-trosymmetric dimers based on rI(S) supramolecular synthon was found. A detailed look at the measured PXRD patterns for aU diarylthioureas revealed that solid-state structures of these compounds could be classified into two structural families, denoted as family I and family II (Fig. 1.11).

Active hydrogen compounds such as alcohols, thiols, amides, urethans, and sulfonamides can be alkylated by N-vinyl-amides, -urethans, or -sulfonamides in high yields. A one-step conversion of ar. nitro compounds to isocyanates has been reported Aliphatic isothiocyanates can be prepared from amines and carbon disulfide with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide under remarkably mild conditions... 

A -Aroyl-A -substituted thiourea derivatives have been prepared from reaction of aroyl isothiocyanate with amines under solid-liquid phase transfer catalysis condition using polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG-400) as catalyst. Reaction of isothiocyanates with lithiated chiral secondary amines has provided chiral thioureas (Scheme 40). °...
